Introduction proxy

The operating principle of a proxy server is very simple: it is a server "mandated" by an application to query the Internet instead. Thus, when a user connects to the Internet using a client application configured to use a proxy server, it will connect first to the proxy server and give him his request. The proxy server will then connect to the server that the client application tries to join and to transmit the request. The server will then give its response to the proxy, which in turn will send it to the client application.

Clearly, the starting IP address is completely hidden, and only the IP address of the proxy appears in the log service contacted.

Advantage: You appear more with your own IP address
Disadvantage: Depending on the type of proxy used (public: free, private: paying) the rate may be very low.

What to Look For in Proxy Websites

A proxy website is indispensable for finding and using this type of Internet service. Although there are now several on the Web, you need to establish a set of criteria so you will be able to distinguish the lemons from the dependable ones.

One of the biggest problems of those who are using this type of service for the first time are the commercial types or when the server and site are connected. This does not refer to those that charge a fee for their use, which is a legitimate business. Rather, the problem can occur when the computer visits a proxy website whose goal is to get you to click the link and try the server. The site itself has no regard as to whether the server is fast or dependable as it is affiliated with the provider.

The best way for you to avoid this would be to look at the site carefully. Is the list on the page updated on a consistent basis? It should be because new ones emerge all the time, and some that have been around for a while may get bogged down due to technical difficulties or just close down. This is something that you need to do; once you bookmark the place, check it often for updates.

A proxy website must also have plenty of other data besides a list of sites that you can click on. For example, there should be a FAQ to answer the queries that beginners may ask. The site cannot assume you are an expert and must have the pertinent info you need. If there is no FAQ, there should information covering such basic questions as to what this server is, the many variants, etc.

A lot of these well maintained pages will also have links where you can download the latest software and tools. Some information concerning the software will also be welcome. A good proxy website will also provide you with several means of viewing the lists, either by domain name, by country, by most visitors etc. If there is a way for you to browse by country, you might want to try that out as the nearer it is the easier you might find it to connect.

There are a number of other factors that you might want to consider when looking for one, but these are the most important ones. If the page has all these qualities, then you have found for yourself a very serviceable proxy website.
